Padres Faux Winter Meetings: Behind the scenes of lineup construction

So you want to be the GM of the San Diego Padres, huh? If there is anything I learned in our FanSided Faux Winter meetings it’s that a GM’s job is a lot more difficult than we make it sound on Twitter.

Granted, I work a full-time job and am a site-editor for two sites at FanSided, I didn’t quite have the time and resources to put my best effort into this fast-paced simulation.

Basically, all of the MLB site experts at FanSided were given one week to sign free agents and make trades, while staying within the team’s projected payroll, to build their squad for the 2020 season and beyond.
